Named capture-based local variables do not scope correctly
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-5311
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-5311
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules, Parser, Ruby 1.9
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.6
Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter
Assignee: Thomas E Enebo
Fix For: JRuby 1.6
Not sure if this is a gap in RubySpec, but the named capture support in JRuby
is not scoping its variables correctly:
{noformat}
~/projects/jruby ➔ jruby --1.9 -e "def foo; x = nil; 1.times {
/(?<x>as)(?<y>df)/ =~ 'asdf'; p x; p y }; p x; end; foo"
"as"
"df"
nil
~/projects/jruby ➔ ruby1.9 -e "def foo; x = nil; 1.times {
/(?<x>as)(?<y>df)/ =~ 'asdf'; p x; p y }; p x; end; foo"
"as"
"df"
"as"
{noformat}
It appears that named capture variables behave just like local variable
assignment, where an existing variable is used if present or a new one is
created in the current scope if not.
